This books gave me Gossip Girl vibes! But think Gossip Girl with more bullying, more danger and a lot of racism and homophobia.
At first, I didn't like Chiamaka. She acted like she was the Queen, which she wanted to be in a way. The Queen of the school. She'd do anything to get at the top.

Or that some men view women as less equal or that women don't get paid as much as men even if they do the same job. But in my world family members aren't sad or disappointed if the newborn is a girl (at least I've never experienced it or heard of it in the same amount I read in the book; it still is possible. In every culture there are people with old views). So, what I meant to say is, that the book is an eye-opener and discusses a very important topic.
Why the three stars then? The writing style is what bothers me. It's …
